Hi Nicolas, Thank you for your interest on this relationship topic. You are absolutely correct with everything you have said, and I agree with you. I like to start by saying to build any types of relationship we must first connect with people that we desire to build relationship with. When any relationship matter to us we usually takes time to nurture the relationship. anything you nurture will grow and bear fruits. How do you nurture? This is big and this is the point where some relationship withered or get destroyed. So they don stay to be nurture. There are things to do to nurture any relationship 1) Sharing your time together( I will give more tips on this Later) 2)Share Your skills 3) Share your Talents All this 3 things looks similar but they are not the same. When you share your time You are investing. To invest in anyone you must have expectations for later may not be immediately. Lots of people cannot invest their time- Why ? We will continue at another time Stay well.
